Welcoming Addresses
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Bundeswehr Institute of Microbiology,
I cordially welcome you to the 15th Medical Biodefense
Conference. This year we have decided to move the
meeting from its traditional place in October to April
and we hope very much that you will like Munich not
only at Oktoberfest time but in early spring as well.
Although challenges related to a legacy of Asbestospollution in some of our buildings have made the available space at our Bundeswehr Medical Academy even
tighter, we were still able to adhere to this venue in
order to keep the conference fee at a reasonable level.
This time we received 287 contributions for oral or
poster sessions, which is a new record, and I hope
that the scientific program compiled under the auspices of our Scientific Advisory Committee will meet your expectations. Most of the sessions will
feature at least one keynote lecture on a topic of special interest. We have once again scheduled
many parallel sessions with a lot of speedy 15-minute presentations. Nevertheless, a number of
submissions had to be converted from oral to poster presentations. We apologize for not being
able to accommodate all your preferences, but I can say we did our best. As usual, we will be
happy to honor three posters with poster awards. We thank the German Society for Military Medicine and Pharmacy and Altona Diagnostics for making this possible.
The Medical Biodefense Conference 2016 scientific program addresses the whole bandwidth of
medical biodefense topics, from political to scientific, from theoretical to practical, from mass casualties to casuistics. With regard to the recent Ebola outbreak in West Africa, time has come to
assess the lessons learned and to improve our preparedness for future outbreaks. Consequently,
the Ebola topic will be addressed in the Opening Session, but also by many other presenters
throughout the program. During the conference, you will also have an opportunity to learn more
about the recent developments in the Zika virus epidemic in the Americas, and get updates on
MERS, plague, anthrax, tick-borne encephalitis and many more topics. I also highly recommend
the Interactive Case Report Workshop to all physicians and medical students amongst us. Let me
finally draw your attention to a session featuring the activities of the German Partnership Program
for Excellence in Biological and Health Security as well as invite you to our Biosecurity Lounge,
where you can personally meet the project partners.
Finally, don´t miss to enjoy Munich in springtime. It is beautiful! For the Oktoberfest enthusiasts
among you, I should not fail to mention that Munich is celebrating its 52nd Frühlingsfest (Spring
festival, April 15 - May 1) this year on the famous Theresienwiese, the home of the Oktoberfest.
The Frühlingsfest is very much like the Oktoberfest, but on a smaller, less crazy scale.
Anyway, I hope that you will enjoy your stay in Munich and wish you an informative and pleasant
time at the Medical Biodefense Conference 2016.
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. L. Zöller, Colonel (MC)

Dear Conference Participants,
Fellow Soldiers,
Colleagues,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I warmly welcome you to the 15th Medical Biodefense
Conference organized by the Bundeswehr Institute of
Microbiology in cooperation with the German Society
for Military Medicine and Pharmacy here in Munich.
Particularly with an eye on the current developments
worldwide, goals like "networking", "sharing experience" and "multinational cooperation" are no longer
just "en vogue" but actually - as we all know – are
without any alternative for operations to be successful.
Summarizing boldly and simply the mission of medical
services in general, we can say: The focus of our activities is on the health of our patients - in each and every
respect!
The efficiency of any healthcare system, among other things, depends on the expertise of a wide
array of highly qualified specialists who, by cooperating professionally, achieve the best possible
outcome and benefit.
As multifaceted as our capabilities, as different, yet, are the often unpredictable challenges we
are facing nowadays. Think, for instance, of the Ebola hemorrhagic fever virus outbreak in Africa
or most recently the fast spread of Zika virus, which caused the World Health Organization to
declare a global health emergency.
The challenges will not diminish. We, therefore, will all the more have to join forces and bethink
ourselves of the synergies inherent in the different specialties, medical licenses, and professions
in the health care system, so that we can continue promoting these invaluable resources and to
always act to the benefit of our service members but also of the society as a whole.
On that note, I wish you all an insightful conference with many interesting talks and constructive
discussions.

Visit the Biosecurity Lounge
of the German Partnership Program for Excellence in Biological and Health Security
at the 15th Medical Biodefence Conference
When biosecurity experts meet there’s a lot to talk about. In our Biosecurity Lounge we offer a space for
scientific exchange, networking und informal meetings. And since we know that passionate debates
need powerful thinkers we help you refill your batteries – with a selection of coffee, tea and
refreshments in the lounge.
The German Partnership Program for Excellence in Biological and Health Security is all about
international biosecurity experts connecting. With the goal to minimise the risks associated with
biological substances and pathogens, we offer platforms for exchange, training programs and rooms for
debate. We are convinced that scientific friendships around the world and a qualified, engaged
scientific community are an important contribution towards global biological and health security.
The German Partnership Program for Excellence in Biological
and Health Security is engaged globally
28
Let an exhibition about our work with
our partners inspire you!
A part of our Lounge is an art exhibition that will show you new perspectives on biosafety
and biosecurity as well as on the people working with us on improving biosecurity.
We welcome you at the Biosecurity Lounge throughout the conference hours at the
“Lichthof”-atrium at the 1st floor of the main conference building.
